Installing the Ductwork
1 . Plan where the ductwork will run between the
rangehood and the outside. The rangehoods
exhaust vertically but can be ducted to the rear
behind the chimney duct through an outside wall or
vertically up through the ceiling to the roof. A short
straight duct run will produce the most air flow.
Length and elbows will reduce the efficiency of the
blower.
2. Install a roof or wall cap. Connect a 150mm round
duct to the cap and work backwards toward the
rangehood. Ensure joints are completely sealed with
duct tape.
Fixing to the Wall
1 . Before mounting the rangehood, plug in and test al l
functions for proper operation.
2. Removed the filters from the bottom of the rangehood to
prevent damage during the installation.
3. With assistance, hold the rangehood temporarily in
position ensuring the bottom is above the minimum
clearance for the cooking surface. Mark on the wall the
holes for the two mounting screws.
4. Drill the holes (A) at the distances indicated. Use the
appropriate screws and screw anchors for your wall type
(e.g. reinforced concrete, drywall, etc.). If necessary,
prepare back wall with cross framing for secure
installation.
5. Mount the rangehood on the wall screws. Align it in a
horizontal position relative to cabinets. When the
rangehood has been adjusted, secure unit by tightening
screws (A).
6. Connect a 150mm smooth rigid duct tube (not
included) to the exhaust piece using duct tape on all seals.
(C)
Fixing the Decorative Chimney
Flue
1. Carefully loosen but do not separate the telescopic
chimney duct pieces.
2. Arrange the electrical power supply within the
dimensions of the decorative chimney duct.
3. Adjust the width of the support bracket to match the
upper duct. Fix it to the wall using the screws (B) so that it
is centered in line with your rangehood and at a
distance from the ceiling indi cated.

USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Operations
1. For optimum performance in removing cooking odours, it is
recommended that you turn on your rangehood prior to cooking and you
leave it operating for 15 minutes after cooking.
2. Clean the surfaces of the rangehood regularly using a
non-abrasive detergent.
3. The anti-grease filters capture the grease particles suspended in
